Can my US son studying in Saint Gilles get OCD medication locally?

My son (US citizen) is studying in Saint Gilles until end of March. He is on medication for OCD and anxiety. He is running out of the medication. Fedex brought the medication to Belgium but it is delayed in customs. Can he get a prescription filled at a local pharmacy? It is urgent. He only has enough for a few more days.

  • No prescription can be issued without seeing the patient. He can find a General Practitioner but he will have a prescription after a face to face session and registration.
